Help Children Learn English

In this Humanitarian Program, you’ll be volunteering to help children learn English (you’ll spend about a half day on volunteering). There’s no experience required and we’ll be training you on how to teach with our specific teaching methodology!

The last couple of decades has brought more and more travelers to Peru, with numbers increasing every year. And today? Tourism is one of Peru’s leading industries. Since this country depends so heavily on tourism, being able to speak English naturally is an invaluable skill for any child once they grow and seek job opportunities.

In this Humanitarian program, you’ll be working with Peruvian children in the community who come from families of limited means. Your time volunteering with the kids is a free gift to them. They’ll have the unique opportunity to learn from a native English speaker (that’s you!) — We keep class sizes small so that you can spend more one-on-one time with each child and provide a quality education that will leave a positive impact on their life.

Experiences In + Around Peru

You have every weekend off plus vacation time throughout the semester so that you can travel over Peru! There is more than enough to see in Peru — you can barely scratch the surface even after living there for 3-4 months. Hike the Andes in “Peruvian Switzerland”, kayak and zipline through the Amazon in Puerto Maldonado, and explore the Sacred Valley.

Volunteers also love visiting other countries, too, which we totally get because you have some amazing neighbors. You have lots of options, but a standout trip could be heading to Chile to explore glaciers in Patagonia or see the southern tip of South America in Punta Arenas. Fly over to Brazil to see Iguazu Falls or do some shopping in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

I love the people of Peru so dearly. So many folks I got to interact with showed over the top kindness to me while I was visiting their country.
